BANGKOK: Quake-stricken Myanmar is still in desperate need of medical assistance, field hospitals and shelters, Thailand’s foreign minister said, stressing the importance of a coordinated regional relief effort and long-term support.
The 7.7 magnitude quake on March 28 was one of the strongest to hit Myanmar in a century, jolting a region that is home to 28 million people, toppling buildings, flattening communities and leaving many without food, water and shelter.
